The pistil as a traffic light: Yellow‐to‐red color change likely influences pollinator visitation patterns in Saxifraga fortunei (Saxifragaceae)

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Flowers can communicate reproductive status to pollinators through visual cues. In Saxifraga fortunei, pistils often changed from yellow to red after pollination, and hoverflies and honeybees preferentially visited flowers with yellow pistils. This pattern suggests that a post‐pollination color shift confined to the pistil can reduce revisits to ...

Expression and mapping of anthocyanin biosynthesis genes in carrot

open access: yesTheoretical and Applied Genetics, 2013
Anthocyanin gene expression has been extensively studied in leaves, fruits and flowers of numerous plants. Little, however, is known about anthocyanin accumulation in roots of carrots or other species. We quantified expression of six anthocyanin biosynthetic genes [phenylalanine ammonia-lyase (PAL3), chalcone synthase (CHS1), flavanone 3-hydroxylase ...

Effects of timed LED regimes on tomato plant traits, performance of two‐spotted spider mites, and predatory mites (Phytoseiulus persimilis)

open access: yesPest Management Science, Volume 81, Issue 4, Page 2300-2311, April 2025.
Light‐emitting diode (LED)‐based treatments for enhancing crop production and pest management have primarily focused on continuous treatments. This study, using Tetranychus urticae and Phytoseiulus persimilis, demonstrates that the timing of LED supplementation is crucial for designing integrated pest management strategies that improve both plant ...

Characterization of the anthocyanin-related flavanone 3-hydroxylase (F3H) genes and functional analysis of VcF3H2 in blueberry

open access: yesFruit Research
Flavanone 3-hydroxylase (F3H) is a key enzyme involved in plant flavonoid/anthocyanin biosynthesis pathways. In this study, we identified eight candidate anthocyanin-related F3H genes from blueberry (Vaccinium corymbosum), and characterized their ...

Coordinated Regulation of Anthocyanin Biosynthesis Genes Confers Varied Phenotypic and Spatial-Temporal Anthocyanin Accumulation in Radish (Raphanus sativus L.)

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2017
Anthocyanins are natural pigments that have important functions in plant growth and development. Radish taproots are rich in anthocyanins which confer different taproot colors and are potentially beneficial to human health.

Regulation of Anthocyanin Biosynthesis in Grapes

open access: yesJournal of the Japanese Society for Horticultural Science, 2009
Skin color, one of the most important characteristics of grapes, is determined by the accumulation of anthocyanins. It has been shown that the anthocyanin accumulation is influenced by abscisic acid and environmental factors such as temperature and light. However, the mechanism regulating anthocyanin biosynthesis has not yet been clarified. This review
